Bakke, Leanne; Kieke, Michele C.; Krueger, Robert – American Biology Teacher, 2013
In daily life, students are allowed to use words such as "more," "some," or "increase-decrease" to describe the relationship between two events. In science, concise description is necessary, which requires the contribution of math. In the summer component of the Science Research Institute program, students integrated…
